Kiss of Silver and Touch of Gold: The Metallic Fashion Trend

We all know that silver and Gold play an important role if Fashion industry as especially in luxury fashion lifestyle. Silver and Gold are usually seen on the fashion accessories such as jewelries, purses, etc. The Kiss of silver represents the beauty of simple luxury fashion that reflects the beauty and standard fashion lifestyle as a whole.While the touch of Gold emphasize the high valued fashion statements such as elite fashionistas and Alta-social people in their fashion statements. These two metals are represents the luxury fashion in different way. That's why designer clothing industry represents this fashion lifestyle through Metallic fashion trend. Silver was one of the earliest metals known to humans, and it has been considered a precious metal since ancient times. Silver has been used as a form of currency by more people throughout history than any other metal, even gold.Silver possesses many special physical characteristics and qualities that make it useful in a variety of industries. The photography industry is the biggest user of silver compounds. Silver forms the most light-sensitive salts, or halides, which are essential to developing high-quality photography. Silver has the highest electrical conductivity per unit volume of any metal, including copper, so it is used extensively in electronics. Specialized uses include switch and relay contacts for automobile controls and accessories, automotive window heating, and in electrodes for electrocardiograms. Gold is soft, shiny, yellow element that is the most malleable of all the metals. It occurs in veins and in alluvial deposits. Because it is very durable, resistant to corrosion, and a good conductor of heat and electricity, gold is used as a plated coating on electrical and mechanical components. It is also an international monetary standard and is used in jewelry and for decoration. Gold has been associated with the extremities of utmost evil and great sanctity throughout history. In the Book of Exodus, the Golden Calf is a symbol of idolatry and rebellion against God.In popular culture, the golden pocket watch and its fastening golden chain were the characteristic accessories of the capitalists, the rich and the industrial tycoons. Credit card companies associate their product with wealth by naming and coloring their top-of-the-range cards “gold” although, in an attempt to out-do each other, platinum has now overtaken gold. The metallic fashion trend might be in, but suffering for the sake of style is always out. Metallic finishes in shiny synthetic materials can leave you feeling hot and sticky. This implicates that you get the shimmer without the simmer with comfortable and stunning fashion statements.Ralph Lauren brand shows up their metallic products through Ralph Lauren Polos as well as in their foot wears. In spring fashion trend, spangle brightened catwalks everywhere and designers steered clear of the ultra futuristic, bulky intergalactic people come to associate with metallic finishes and shiny plastics. Instead, they have gone for a luxury look with fluid, light-reflective pieces and a streamlined aesthetic executed with draping, pleating, and bias-cuts. Designers twisted the style of metallic trends into graceful and stunning looks of designs as well as futuristic styles of their master pieces.Now the luxury version is shimmering and glimmering smart enough to wear for an evening on the town like this lovely silver and gold version right suggests. Nowadays, Metallic fashion is not just an ordinary fashion style but it keeps the personality of extra-ordinary fashionista. This is the way of luxury and unique fashion through the Kiss of silver and Touch of Gold via Metallic fashion trend.

Great Fashion Sense = Stylish Home?

As it usually happens, discovering one interesting photo then gets me obsessed about a whole entire theme and so after coming across this image of Alexa Chung in her home today, I started wondering about other stylish celebrities and their interior design taste. Are they as fashionable in their home style as what they are when they walk out the door? I can’t confirm all the images below are really their own homes (I’m just assuming) although from what I can see, the stylish interiors pictured are definitely on par with how brilliantly they dress themselves....

Girl Crush - Willa Holland

I’m positively and completely in a Gossip Girl frenzy right now. I don’t actually have pay TV however after a weekend at my sister’s house watching the complete Season 1 DVD Set, I then purchased Season 2 online and have been obsessively watching it every chance I get.

Halfway through disk 2 actress Willa Holland makes an entrance and having last remembered seeing her playing Kaitlin Cooper (Mischa’s little sis in the OC), she is now all grown up looking very edgy & chic indeed. It’s been hard to track down photos of her but if you watch her on Gossip Girl you’ll get the gist of how ‘girl crush’ worthy she is (I really don’t like that term but I don't have another phrase to describe compulsively googling another girls images & gushing over her face, hair, clothes etc). Anyway, Willa Holland is now all grown up and I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of her on our television screens and hopefully fashion pages!

Cute & Casual - Hayden Panettiere

Always looking so radiant and healthy, Hayden's most striking feature is her fresh faced glow (and then of course her perfect style).
